A startup runs a web application on a single server. They expect a sudden spike in traffic due to a marketing campaign and want to ensure the application remains available. They have budget to add two more servers, but they want to minimize changes to the application and infrastructure. Which approach best meets their needs?

Use a content delivery network (CDN) to cache all dynamic content.

Place NGINX in front of the three servers as a load balancer, using round-robin to distribute traffic.

Upgrade the existing server's CPU and memory to handle the expected load.

Configure the application to use a message queue to handle requests asynchronously.

What is the primary purpose of load balancing in a web infrastructure?

To cache static content to reduce server load

To encrypt all traffic between clients and servers

To distribute incoming network traffic across multiple servers

To provide a single IP address for DNS resolution
